I love this man, he walks with jesus and ill see him again

For the longest Matt was only a story my wife shared about him.  A myth until the point of our first meeting.  He was full of energy and joy.  The biggest smile I have ever seen on someone.  Big plans and dreams he was determined to make a reality with his wife and daughter.  This is hard to fathom by any measure but he will be living forever within our hearts.  Brother you will be missed and cherished forever.

Julianne and I have been friends for years. I met Matthew during the time they were apart. When they came down to visit family a few years ago in Texas for 4th of July, we had a great time. Matt noticed that they were following us down the road and we made the light. Matt made a pseudo- Michigan left down the road to make the light, in TEXAS! haha! My best memory is with them staying at my apartment. We were trying to put up a pop and play. Hahaha that thing was so hard to put up. While we are all trying to put it up. We all had each side of that thing with one hand and Matt turns to all of us and says "Man, you guys probably never thought you would be spending Fourth of July doing this!" No we didn't, Matthew, but we have never forgotten it. He was the cheerleader for our wedding. He made sure that everyone had a good time. It was so hard to me to see him go , because I saw you, Matt, Juliane and me being decades long friends going from Denver to Dallas. He was supposed to teach Matt and I how to ski. Chloe Anne will have to do that now. We love you Julianne and we will always miss Matthew. Julianne you are strong and God has you. I love you and the girls and can't wait to be with you all.

I have known Julianne Sarampote since I was 14 years old. I remember when she met Matthew.  He was so charismatic and full of life.  He could always put a smile on your face.  I was given the honor to watch God move through her life and the life of her husband Matthew. Watching God grow Matthew into a a wise, full of biblical knowledge and full of the Holy Spirit was refreshing!  He never changed, his charisma and enthusiasm was still evident, but now they were centered around Christ.   Being paired with Julianne, the most faithful, loving and hard working person I have ever met in my life, was a great illustration of God's perfect plan. Julianne is a great example of Christ's love and God's extreme patience and faithfulness. I have been so filled with joy to watch their beautiful family grow and flourish in Colorado, a place they dreamed they would one day live. God's amazing provisions in their lives has been astounding and I am blessed to have witnessed it. 

Julianne is beautiful inside and out and has brought so much joy to my life. While I don't understand God's plan in this time of grief, I will trust Him. I will trust Him and fervently pray that His love will surround Julianne and her girls. My heart breaks for her. 

Matthew named their, soon to arrive, 3rd daughter, and it speaks of Matthew's wisdom in The Lord. Israel Amor Sarampote! How beautiful Matthew! We are Israel, God's chosen people, we are loved. Julianne your husband will be reminding you, of just how much God loves you each time you speak your sweet child's name.

I love you!

Praying without ceasing!

I haven't seen him since he was a teenager and would come home with Donnie, but no matter his circumstances he was always full of joy and laughter. I know now he makes God smile. Remember you will be with him far longer than you will be without him.

Julianne, Out of the deepest scares the sweetest spirits have emerged. Julianne for as long as I have known you have been an example of of kindness and devotion. God will take you through the mourning and bring joy and beauty through your pain. The only memories I have of Matthew are by your love for him.  He was a loved man and he knew it.  This is not goodbye, he remains your hero in the cloud of witnesses encouraging you to press on. I love you and continue to pray for your family.  Pastor Kim

I pray for peace in your heart and your girls hearts as the days go on. Love you!

Matthew was a Strong and Corageous Warrior for Jesus Christ. Today he sits at the right hand of our Father~Although we don't understand why now Julianne, I promise you that God did not bring you this far to abandon you. You and the Girls have a mission to accomplish and HE will direct your path~ We Love You Matthew~ ?

Words could never express the love I have for you, so I'll let my words be few...  I love you my best friend, lover, husband and father, with all of my heart. No one on this earth could ever compare to who you were to me. I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life.

Our hearts are hurting and we hate that you and your girls are going through such a difficult time.  Your family has always been so special to us, please know you are in our hearts and our prayers today and always.
